Loved the wide range of choices, ability to narrow down the selections (thank goodness), and most importantly - ability to return items! However, i would love it even more IF i was able to SAVE all of my preferences and settings (rather than re-select them each time I come onto the site or each time I change categories)
ThredUp provides quality pre-owned clothing at reasonable prices. The return policy is excellent. The clothes come clean, wrapped nicely and in a fun box! The inventory is constantly changing and the rewards programs is legit with no hidden catches! I have been recommending them often and look forward to purchasing more in the future.
I have ordered 4 times from thredup and have had great experiences. The clothing has been in superior condition and is priced right. I would recommend it to anyone looking for affordable upscale clothing.
A++ This is the best site ever. I have ordered twice from them and I have not been disappointed. Not only is the quality of each item like brand new, but it's convenient and fun. I would highly recommend shopping with them you will not be disappointed.
ThredUp merchandise is in good condition and I am happy with my purchases. Although, I will need to take note of those items that cannot be returned. The ExOfficio coat I bought is the BEST resale find of all time. Items arrived on time, and the return process is very easy. I am hooked.
I've ordered a couple times on this site and everything was delivered in beautiful condition (like new) and wrapped like a Christmas gift! Pretty polkadot paper. I definitely will be on this site again!
I love how all the clothes are clean, well put together, and displayed. Great and easy site, wonderful idea!
I am so impressed with ThredUp! The only thing that needs improving is shipping time. It takes a week or a little more for the clothes to come. And it's not cheap to pay for faster shipping.
Decent selection, good search, good prices, good quality, will use again.
I've ordered two pair of blue jeans from thredUP and love both of them! The description was very clear and the fit is perfect. I would order again from thredUP, without question!
Good quality clothing and easy returns if not satisfied.
Recently ordered maternity and young girls clothing from thredUP for my daughter and granddaughter. I was so pleased with the condition of the clothing I received--the articles of clothing (mostly) looked brand new and both my daughter and granddaughter were thrilled with the items purchased. Hope to be purchasing more soon.
The clothing is in excellent condition and clean. I love the brand Athleta and this site allows me to enjoy my favorite name brands at a fraction of the cost.
I love it! I've gotten such good deals on quality items that I would never be able to afford at full price! Some items are brand new with tags. Returns are easy. I just did my first return. It didn't fit which was sad because the quality was great. Thank you, ThredUp!
I'm SO pleased with my thredUP experience. Everything I've bought has been exactly as described, and I felt the value for the cost on the purchases I've made has been excellent. I've enjoyed using the discount codes to make the values even more aggressive and have referred several friends and been delighted by being rewarded for that too. A++++. Happy to recommend!
DO NOT send your hard earned well taken care of clothes to these thieves! I sent in a bag of clothing that I know would have sold online for hundreds of dollars had I done the work and listed them myself. I saw this company on Good Morning America, and I thought "hey, why not?" and sent in a huge bag of clothing. All of my clothes are well cared for, no holes, no stains and they don't look like they have been worn at all in many cases. For all my efforts and a bag of clothing weighing in over 30 pounds, I was credited $1.00. That's right, you read that correctly, ONE DOLLAR! Horrible horrible horrible people, and if anyone starts a class action suit against them, please let me know, I am all in.
Love thredup! Have used them twice now selling items and several times buying great clothes! Getting a bag to fill and send is so easy and quick! Receiving my ordered items was easy and I received so nicely packaged and fast too!
I've been telling all my friends! What a great concept... lob the idea of repurposing and it's a great motivator to keep that closet cleaned up!
Love ya Thredup!
Totally addicted to this website and to the merchandise I've ordered. Completely satisfied.
Answer: Don't bother. I got 80 cents for a whole bag of good condition name brand clothes.
Answer: I've actually emailed their customer service to show them how many negative reviews there were on this site and they did not care at all. They just quoted their policies. I'm sure they will go bankrupt soon enough...
Answer: 1% but they trash the expensive stuff (or am not sure what they do with it) and sell the cheap stuff. So i sent 2 bags with over 20 items, and got total 25$. I had antik batik dress, anthropologie clothes, jcrew, christian lacroix, etc. and they trashed the expensive (new condition) brand and listed cheap things. I will not send them stuff again, it was very hurtful.
Answer: Because they essentially steal your clothes and then sell them for a profit. You get hardly any payout, but they gladly take all your clothes and sell them for a big mark up.
Answer: Of course buyers are satisfied. They are getting other peoples' brand-name, like-new clothes that has been stolen by ThredUp. Buying from ThredUp just supports their dishonest and shady business practice.
Answer: I almost always sell on eBay first. Then when I don't feel like hanging on to the clothes any more and just want my closet space back and they have been on eBay for months, I will send to thredUP. I don't even send in that high end of items and I will usually get $16 and up per bag. So to me, it's a last resort, but I usually can expect something even if it's a little. I LOVE thredUP for buying. Use their upfront calculator to see what items they take. They will say 50 cents to 1.00 per item so it is not hidden info. There is always the return option where you can get your entire bag back for $12.99 as well. Everyone who has nice stuff they'd want back should opt for this method always.
Answer: They sent me an email and put the money on my thred up account so I can buy something. I was do disgusted I gave up on the whole thing
Answer: Because I sent in 575.00 worth of clothes and recieved 8.00 in credit, half of them had tags still on them and were high priced items. When I asked for proof why they did not take them in they said they had stains on them. I asked for pics because they were brand new, they squirted water on them and took a pic. It takes a couple months to even get your credit and when you buy womens clothes, half the time I was sent stained or childrens sized clothes, TWICE is a much better company.
Answer: Honestly this company is not choosing to accept a lot of product that could easily be listed. I have sent bags and bags, including valuable pieces... cashmere sweaters, high end items of considerable retail cost and relatively recently produced. When questioned I am given the response that the items were not in as good a shape as they wanted them to be. That their buyers should be able to buy perfect product. My take on this is... if it's a 200 dollar cashmere sweater and the purchase price is under 10 dollars, a few pills on the fabric should be a non issue! Period. I question what is going on, frankly, as many do. Too much disappears with no explanation, many bags go into complete reject status. I genuinely am concerned that there is a story here and may become apparent after a while. Only time will tell.
Answer: Not worth it unless you have stuff priced over $40 and can get 40%. There percentages are ridiculous for lower priced clothes. You can order return assurance for about $12 but be prepared to get a bag back with your items stuffed in like garbage. They do not even take the time to fold things nicely even though you pay for this service.
